Parkside Avenue Closures

The Holladay Construction Company may continue to require temporary closures on Parkside Avenue, and such closures may be made without specific notice when necessary for the safety of workers and the public. The closure hours will be between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. A detour will be in place to direct motorists around the block on Charlotte St, Maple St and Main St, while pedestrians will have uninterrupted access through the closure. Additionally, access to the commuter parking spaces and the three residential driveways will remain accessible from Charlotte Street as “local traffic.”

Create a Fire Escape Plan

When a fire occurs, there is no time to waste. In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can turn into a major fire. The Lombard Fire Department encourages residents to create a home fire escape plan to get out of their home quickly in a fire emergency.
